IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using electric lawn mowers, basic
safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury, including the following:
Read All Instructions
I. Training
1.
The operator of the machine is responsible for
any accidents or hazards occurring to others or
their property.
2.
Do not allow children to use or play with the
machine, battery pack, or the battery charger;
local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
3.
Do not allow children or untrained people to
operate or service this machine. Allow only
people who are responsible, trained, familiar
with the instructions, and physically capable to
operate or service the machine.
4.
Before using the machine, battery pack, and
battery charger, read all the instructions and
cautionary markings on these products.
5.
Become familiar with the controls and proper
use of the machine, battery pack, and battery
charger.
II. Preparation
1.
Keep bystanders, especially children and pets,
out of the operating area.
2.
Do not operate the machine without all guards
and safety devices, such as deflectors and grass
catchers, in place and functioning properly on
the machine.
3.
Inspect the area where you will use the machine
and remove all objects that could interfere with
the operation of the machine or that the machine
could throw.
4.
Before using the machine, ensure that the blade,
blade bolt, and blade assembly are not worn or
damaged. Replace any damaged or unreadable
labels.
5.
Use only the battery pack specified by Toro.
Using other accessories and attachments may
increase the risk of injury and fire.
6.
Plugging the battery charger into an outlet that is
not 120V can cause a fire or electric shock. Do
not plug the battery charger into an outlet other
than 120V. For a different style of connection,
use an attachment plug adapter of the proper
configuration for the power outlet if needed.
7.
Do not use a damaged or modified battery
pack or battery charger, which may exhibit
unpredictable behavior that results in fire,
explosion, or risk of injury.
8.
If the supply cord to the battery charger is
damaged, contact an Authorized Service Dealer
to replace it.
9.
Charge the battery pack with only the battery
charger specified by Toro. A charger suitable for
1 type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
10.
Charge the battery pack in a well-ventilated area
only.
11.
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Otherwise, you may damage the battery pack
and increase the risk of fire.
12.
Dress properly—Wear appropriate clothing,
including eye protection; long pants; substantial,
slip-resistant footwear (not barefoot or wearing
sandals); and hearing protection. Tie back long
hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose
jewelry that can get caught in moving parts.
Wear a dust mask in dusty operating conditions.
Use of rubber gloves is recommended.
III. Operation
1.
Contact with the moving blade will cause serious
injury. Keep your hands and feet away from the
cutting area and all moving parts of the machine.
Keep clear of any discharge opening.
2.
Using this machine for purposes other than its
intended use could prove dangerous to you and
bystanders.
3.
Disengage the self-propel drive (if equipped)
before starting the machine.
4.
Do not tilt the machine when starting the motor.
5.
Prevent unintentional starting—Ensure that
the electric-start button is removed from the
electric-start switch before connecting the
battery pack and handling the machine.
6.
Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
7.
Stop the machine, remove the electric-start
button, remove the battery pack from the
machine, and wait for all movement to stop
before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing
the machine.
